Thank you for the tag @talyx-rex! ❤ (I found your explanation for the 'Rex' part of your username very cool btw!)
1. Why did you choose your url?
It's a very obscure reference to the movie 'Wilde'. There is this one scene where Oscar Wilde is talking to his wife while his son is crying very loudly. He basically flees and uses "I shan't be back till late, I'm dining with the Asquiths" as his excuse. Instead, he visits his lover Robbie Ross and the two of them have sex. So I use "dining with the Asquiths" as a euphemism for gay sex and therefore thought it would be a fitting url. 😆
I could have sworn I made @bandofsisters after watching Band of Brothers with @slashonmydash and @arc-en-disco, but I can't find it as my side blog anywhere. 🤔 It only has 1 post anyway, but I still love the username. 😁
3. How long have you been on Tumblr?
Oh gosh... 9 years and 4 months.
4. Do you have a queue tag?
Nope! Not even back when I used to queue everything. But I do use a lot of other tags because I like to be organised. 😌
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
Wayyy back in the day I was really into BBC Sherlock, and Tumblr suddenly was the place to be. I think I moved there from deviantART and LiveJournal. (Man that Sherlock fandom has not aged well imo lol.)
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
Oscar Wilde apparently decorated his rooms with objects like peacock feathers.
Learning about him and his life inspired me to try and accept/love myself more and not be ashamed/scared to show my true self. (Something I struggle with to this day.)
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance, after all. 😊
7. Why did you choose your header?
Same reason lmao. Plus, peacock feathers look so prettyyy! ❤ I love their aesthetic. 😄
8. What’s your post with the most notes?
This Hannigram one lmaooo (51k, not bad!)
9. How many mutuals do you have?
I actually don't follow back a lot because I like an uncluttered dashboard, but I do haunt certain tags (#armitagehux, #gingerpilot and #kylux mostly) and will often click on users to scroll through their wonderful blogs. 😊 So if we're not mutuals that doesn't mean I don't like you!!!! Au contraire, I pretty much adore everyone in this amazing (Hux/Gingerpilot/Kylux) fandom. ❤❤❤
10. How many followers do you have?
899 (which is still quite shocking to me lmao)
11. How many people do you follow?
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
Oh yes. I'm not an artist so my fandom contributions are mostly shit posts (and more recently, ficlets!). 😌
13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?
14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?
To my horror I was drawn into a discussion (about freedom of speech in writing/art) at the beginning of this year. It definitely made me reconsider what I initially said. Because I do listen to other people and am very willing to learn. 😊 Overall I dislike fandom drama and tend to stay far away from it.
15. How do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?
The superstitious ones slightly annoy me. 😆
My heart goes out to the really important ones, but I'm more of an activist on my other social media accounts; my Tumblr blog is mainly my safe space for fandom, fun, venting and inspiration stuff. 😊
16. Do you like tag games?
I do, very much! Feel free to tag me in anything. 😁
17. Do you like ask games?
Yes, although I rarely do them because I'm terrified nobody will send me any lmao.
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?
Ummmmmm... That would be @blackkingsdream and her amazing art, of course! 😍
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
Not at the moment no. Fun fact: I once had a mutual that became my girlfriend. 😍❤ Sadly, I ended it many years ago, for various reasons. Still, I have many happy and fond memories of our time together. I feel very lucky to have had those experiences. Truth be told, nothing has ever come close to that, even though it certainly wasn't perfect. (And I do feel the occasional regret lol, but that's a pointless emotion.)
Oh gosh ummm... God I'm always shit at tagging people because I don't want anyone to feel pressured or bothered by me. 🙈
Okay um, @dark-lord-of-the-simps consider yourself tagged if you want to do this! 😊
Also anyone else who might be interested; you are tagged now too! 😁
